A Little About Us…

🌊 Alvaro – Your Surf Coach

With nearly 20 years of surfing experience, nothing makes me happier than helping you stand up on your first wave or refine your skills. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and—most importantly—have a blast!  

My love affair with the ocean started on the waves of Chirimena, a passion that eventually led me to the beautiful coast of Tamarindo. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to blending professional surf instruction with authentic Costa Rican experiences. As a certified surf instructor, I bring skill, patience, and a deep connection to the ocean, guiding each student with care and enthusiasm. Can't wait to hit the waves with you! 🌊🤙
